Editing in Illustrator CS3

hi there,
im having trouble right-clicking and object and editing it in CS3
i just get a pop up that says "Editing in CS4"
Does that mean only flash catalyst is only compatible with CS4?
also,
an eyedropper color tool would be nice!

Yes, "Edit in Illustrator" is only supported with Illustrator CS4. However, it would be nice for Catalyst to detect that case and tell you...I'll file that as a bug.

  • How to edit PPD List Illustrator CS3?

    Hi all,
    Recently updated a printer driver, which has resulted in a really long PPD list through which I have to scroll when I send something
 to print. I know in Quark there's a way that one can edit the list by turning off unwanted PPDs. Is this possible in Illustrator? a
nd how might I do it? 


    This is probably really simple, but I'm relatively new to CS3 so anyone who could enlighten me would be appreciated.
    Thanks, 
Siobhan.

    Mac OS X 10.4.11

    You will have to teach your user how to edit the source in an
    external application.
    Make it possible:
    1. Edit, Administer websites
    2. Users and Roles, pick the proper role, Edit Role Settings
    3. go to Editing and check 'Allow users to edit source in
    external application'
    To adjust which application:
    1. Edit, Preferences
    2. File editors
    3. pick Web page Source
    4. adjust the setting as you like with the program you
    want

  • Trial to Cd edition Illustrator CS3

    Hi, i am new at this...I downloaded a trial of CS3 Illustrator. I now purchased the CD from Adobe for Illustrator CS3. Should I uninstall the trial or just add the serial number to the Trial edition to make it not a trial anymore. Thank you.

    You provided everything except for the most important detail: how much available space do you have on your hard drive(s)?

  • Which Illustrator CS3 files are editable in Microsoft Word?

    Dear all
    I need to design something using InDesign and Illustrator CS3 (or just one of these depending on the responses I get).
    Is is possible to save a particular file type out of either Illustrator or InDesign which can then be opened & edited in Microsoft Word (on a PC)? It would mainly just be text which would need to be edited in Word afterwards.
    Thanks in advance,
    Adam

    >Which Illustrator CS3 files are editable in Microsoft Word?
    None of them.
    >Is is possible to save a particular file type out of either Illustrator or InDesign which can then be opened & edited in Microsoft Word (on a PC)?
    You can export text from InDesign and open/edit that text file in Word, but you will not get layout, page size, columns, margins, or graphics. You can export art from Illustrator as EMF or PNG (I much prefer PNG) them import those graphics normally and position as you want.
    Making your Illustrator or InDesign file into an editable Word file means doing a lot of it over again in a much worst interface.

  • Editing symbol in Illustrator cs3 sends the result miles off artboard?

    When I enter "edit mode" of an illustrator CS3 symbol (to be used in  flash), upon exiting edit mode, the symbol leaves the art board only to  be found far away in the upper left corner of the document. Moreover,  this cannot be undone!
    Any thoughts?

    You could provide a sample . ai file, so other users may inspect it and see if they can observe the same issue as you do.

  • Copying objects from Illustrator CS3 to FreeHand 11.0.2

    Working on a Mac in OSX 10.4.11, I was able to select and copy objects in an open Illustrator CS2 file and paste them into an open FreeHand 11.0.2 file, where they would be fully editable. After migrating to OSX 10.6.2 and upgrading to CS3, this no longer works - the objects selected and copied from Illustrator either do not appear (only corner indicators are visible) or a pale version appears as an uneditable low-rez image with funny colors....
    Because there are so many missing features in Illustrator, it's important for me to be able to work back and forth between the two apps.  Has anyone been able to achieve this (formerly) simple interactivity?

    I got the following post from Danny Haas:
    If you go to Edit>Special>Paste Special and then select AI/EPS from the list
    it should paste just fine. It works well for me.
    Worked for me too, although text was not imported as editable text.  To do
    that had to special paste the text separately as unformatted text, and then
    reformat in FH.

    I skipped AICS3, but now use AICS4 for some tasks.
    The only solution I've found is to save the AI CS4 file as AI 8, open that
    in FHMX and copy from there.

  • How to open an Arabic PDF in Illustrator CS3 ME without outlining the font?

    Hi,
    I need to use Illustrator CS3 ME (Middle East) in order to edit some pages of an Arabic PDF file.
    Now, the problem is that as soon as I open the page in Illustrator, all of the Arabic text gets outlined. The English text doesn't get outlined.
    I need to edit the text, so this is a big problem.
    I don't have the original source files (InDesign).
    Also, it is too much editing to be doing in Acrobat.
    Is there some sort of solution for this?
    Thanks,
    Ola

    Hi,
    The font is Arial, which fully supports Arabic, as far as I know.
    How do I enable glyph protection in the prefs?
    How do I set the glyph substituion in the type palette? I am sorry for the
    ignorance, but I usually work with InDesign, and quite rarely with
    Ilustrator. This is a special case for me...
    The formatting is very ordinary. Nothing special.
    I really hope there is some solution for this....
    Ola
    2010/6/4 Mylenium <[email protected]>
    What fonts does it use? Is glyph protection enabled in teh prefs? What are
    the settings for glyph substitution in the type palette? Does it have any
    specific formatting? If it gets outlined, it was probably mangled in ways
    that prevent using the life font or the relevant font is missing
    alltogether...

  • Can't open EPS files in Illustrator CS3 since installing CS6

    I'm on Windows 7, and need to be able to open .eps files with Illustrator CS3. Since installing CS6 yesterday I'm no longer able to associate EPS files with Illustrator CS3. When I right click an eps and go to "open with", only Illustrator CS6 is listed. When I "choose default program", only Illustrator CS6 is listed. If I "browse" and manually select the Illustrator CS3 executable, it still defaults to CS6. Using the same process with .ai files works fine, there is no issue. However these .eps files are not behaving like .ai files. If anyone could suggest a solution to my problem I would be very grateful.
    EDIT:
    Also, attempting to set the default program through the "set associations" control panel doesn't work, after selecting the Illustator CS3 executable it still shows up as CS6.

    Some research solved my issue. Need to create a registry entry for Illustrator CS3 (v13) in the eps file extension section of the windows 7 registry.
    1. Navigate to:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.eps\OpenWit hProgids
    2. Create a new "binary value" key called "Adobe.Illustrator.13" (leave the value blank).
    That's it. CS3 is now a valid choice for eps files. Hope this helps anyone who has the same issue.

  • Image Link Problems in Illustrator CS3

    Am running on Mac OS 10.4.11. Mac is a Dual 2GHz PowerPC G5. File server is an IBM x3650, running FullPress Software and Xinet and Flashnet.
    When saving files in Illustrator CS3 with preserved image links to hi-res images on the server, other users who later open that ai file, have to manually relink to images on the server. If the file is opened on the Mac that created it, images link automatically when opened again. The problem is that other Macs do not see the links/paths to the images.
    It is frustrating and time-consuming. The problem seems to be isolated to just 2 specific Macs. One with the spec as above, and the other is a 2x2.66GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon, running on the same Mac OS.
    All software installs are same on all macs in my studio.
    The overall problem is : 17 Macs. 15 of these can open files created on each others Macs without issue. However, if files were created on the 2 "problem Macs", link issues arise. The 2 problem Macs have link issues with ANY other mac when opening files saved on any other Mac.
    Sorry for long winded nature of this, but can anyone help? Have tried all sorts and have run out of ideas on this. URGENT help needed! Thanks.

    Thanks Ian and Jim.
    Have solved the mystery.
    Opened files in Text edit, and the links defined section, did show ghosted volumes on problem macs.
    So, went to desktop > From the Go menu, select Go to Folder >then entered "/volumes"
    This brought up the volumes and highlighted some anomalies. Folders appearing with same name as my server, meaning when the server mounted it added a suffix of -1, -2 etc.
    MANY THANKS Gentleman.
    Tim.

  • A problem highlighting/selecting text in Illustrator CS3

    In several instances I can't highlight text to copy or to edit, other times it works fine. If I click the radio button for the text in layers (other layers may be locked to prevent accidental selection), the baselines appears and I should be able to highlight the text, but I can't. If I highlight some other unaffected area of text successfully (unlocked layers), sometimes it will allow me to select the problem text directly after. Then it will go back to being a problem, why?

    I'm using the general text tool, I've locked the other sublayers to avoid accidentally selecting those items. Then I click the radio button on the sublayer I wish to edit or copy, which reveals the baselines. Then if I click within that object to highlight text with the cursor, the text tool creates a new textbox/sublayer and does not highlight the text I intended.

  • Illustrator CS3 and CS4 crashes on two different Mac Pro systems

    We have two Mac pro systems. Both are running 10.5.6. As of this morning both systems crash when trying to save files from Illustrator CS3 and CS4.
    I'm not sure if this started with a corrupted file, and when we tried to work with it on both machines it effected both.
    Does anyone have an idea?

    Do use TimeMachine for data;
    SuperDuper for imaging the system;
    Clone the system at least twice: known good backup image and for testing.
    Clone or image can be just a sparse image created with Disk Utility.
    I would also keep user accounts separate from the system and on 2nd drive.
    Rather than reinstall, use alternate systems. You may even need to do what others have learned to, one system for specific task or configuration.
    Use different user accounts.
    Don't rule out plist or preference settings or corruption.
    Normally I use Disk Warrior to keep a system maintained but TechTool Pro (5.01) will do more to check files for integrity and errors, and useful addition.
    If I was building a sytem today, I'd probably use 10K WD VelociRaptor or two for system, some scratch drives in stripped RAID for editing and saving work, and then media drive(s). With 3 backup sets of work.
    Apple now sells OS X 10.5.6 on DVD, replacing the 10.5.4 (and 10.5.0, shame there is no upgrade program) so they must feel 10.5.6 is gold. Not all software and hardware though does, but Sonnet just posted updates for their SATA Tempo card drivers. When it comes to production, newest and latest is not usually best.

  • Opening eps files  in illustrator cs3, created with GMT

    I have been using previous versions of illustrator (10.0, 11.0, 12.0) to edit my eps files created with GMT (Generic Mapping Tools) with no problem.
    I have just recently installed CS3. When I open these GMT generated eps files the colors are changed and lines are shifted when compared with the original eps image (which i can open and view in GSview, a postscript viewer, with no problem).
    My current work-a-round is to open these eps files with illustrator 11.0 (which I have installed on another computer), save the file as an AI file (version 11.0), and then open this file with illustrator CS3. The file then displays correctly.
    My question is this, what has changed with the CS3 version of illustrator that does not allow me to open eps files created with GMT (Generic Mapping Tools). Older versions of Illustrator open these files with no problems.
    My OS is windows XP - 64-bit. My older computer running illustrator 11.0 is winXP - 32 bit. I bought the newer Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Standard because I was having trouble installing the older version of illustrator onto my 64-bit machine.
    Thanks!
    Laura

    Hi Laura,
    I have the same problem with CS5... and no previous versions to convert my files!
    Did you find another way?
    Thanks!

  • Adobe Illustrator CS3 Quits Unexpectedly

    Have you tried Uninstalling CS3 and reinstalling it?
    Go to:
    Mac HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Adobe Installers -> Add or Remove Adobe...
    Then reinstall it from your disk or disk image.

  • Unable to update Illustrator CS3

    Adobe Updater tells me my software needs an update so I dutifully let it download what it wants. It starts the installation and then hangs. It gets about 80 - 90 per cent through installing the update for Illustrator (13.0.1) and just sits there. I let it run over night and it was right where I left it the night before. I can quit the update installer without having to Force Quit. Tried to launch Illustrator and it wouldn't launch. Gets to the Open screen and quits. I have to re-install Illustrator. This is the 3rd or 4th time I've tried to update. Same result. Any suggestions? Using on an iMac G5 2.1Ghz, 2.5GB RAM, running Leopard (OS 10.5.8).

    Your patch seems to be failing because the ownership of file at following location is not getting set correctly -
    /Applications/Adobe Illustrator CS3/Adobe Illustrator.app/Contents/Resources/AMT/application.sif
    (ctrl+click over Adobe Illustrator.app and choose Show Package Contents to view files inside the app)
    Correcting the group/owner should fix this problem, or simply rename this file to something else say xapplication.sif then manually run the update.
    You may download the 13.0.1 Illustrator update from the following link -
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=27&platform=Macintosh
    Let me know if this fix your problem.

  • Illustrator CS3 problem

    Hi,
    I've been having a bit of what I believe is a problem with Illustrator CS3. I created a graphic layout using Photoshop CS3 and saved the finished product as a jpg to open up and "slice" in illustrator to code it, but every time I open up the image it comes up about half the size of the actual image. At first I thought I had saved the jpg as a smaller size than what it's supposed to be, but when I looked in my files it's the size it should be. I also tried exporting the finished work from photoshop to illustrator, but it did the same. I've also searched around online, including search engines, adobe help, faq, and forums, and have found nothing on this.
    If you want/need specifics on my computer, I can give them, but I am running Windows Vista.

    How exactly would I go about doing that? I edited the resolution and it made the image smaller/larger overall. I've never had to mess with resolution or DPI before because I've never had this problem so I'm quite green about it.
